The site's share flow generates a result card locally that omits individual questions, and its privacy page clearly documents these boundaries and tradeoffs.", "body_md": "A quiz about personal experiences creates a simple product question. How much of the answer data needs to reach a server?\n\nFor a single-session quiz, the useful answer can be none of it.\n\nThe current version of [RicePurityTest.party](https://ricepuritytest.party/) stores progress in `sessionStorage`\n\n. A refresh in the same tab can restore the current question and previous yes or no choices. Closing the tab clears that session. There is no account to create and no answer payload to sync.\n\nThe score calculation also stays in the browser. Each checked item subtracts one point from 100. That rule is visible in the site's [methodology](https://ricepuritytest.party/methodology), so the result does not depend on a hidden model or personality inference.\n\nThe share flow needs its own privacy boundary. A result card can be useful without becoming a transcript. The card is drawn locally and contains the score, the number of checked items, a result label, an illustration, and the site name. It leaves out the individual questions.\n\nThis design has honest tradeoffs. There is no cross-device resume, no account history, and no way for the site operator to recover a lost session. Those limits are acceptable when the data is sensitive and the product promise is temporary, private use.\n\nThe reusable checklist is short.\n\nThe full [privacy explanation](https://ricepuritytest.party/privacy) states these boundaries in user-facing language. That page matters as much as the implementation. Privacy claims should describe the system people actually use.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/keeping-a-100-question-quiz-private-in-the-browser", "canonical_source": "https://dev.to/mrzhu/keeping-a-100-question-quiz-private-in-the-browser-1ap", "published_at": "2026-08-30 11:40:42+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-30 12:23:44.378432+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["developer-tools", "ai-products"], "entities": ["RicePurityTest.party"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/keeping-a-100-question-quiz-private-in-the-browser", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/keeping-a-100-question-quiz-private-in-the-browser.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/keeping-a-100-question-quiz-private-in-the-browser.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/keeping-a-100-question-quiz-private-in-the-browser.jsonld"}}
